83. Metabolic Health Made Simple | Chronic Stress, Anxiety Symptoms & Your Christian Walk PT1 ~ Laura Hargrave

What happens when a wake-up call about your health changes the entire direction of your life? In this special two-part conversation, I sit down with Laura Hargrove, host of the Health in Faith Podcast, to talk about her journey from unhealthy living and compromised health to metabolic healing, faith, and helping others reclaim their wellness. In Part 1, Laura shares how poor lifestyle habits during university, while pursuing her law degree, eventually led to serious health concerns. After a doctor warned her about the direction her health was heading, she began making changes to her eating and exercise habits, sparking a deep interest in health and wellness. Following university, Laura used her law degree to lead a research team within the NHS in Britain. But over time, she became increasingly troubled by the influence Big Pharma appeared to have over research and healthcare decisions. Eventually, she chose to step away from that career path, retrain in natural health, and pursue a different mission entirely. Since then, Laura has coached and taught thousands of people around the world, written books, become certified as a metabolic health practitioner, and come to faith in Christ. Today, she helps people pursue healthier lives through practical metabolic health strategies grounded in biblical principles. In Part 2, we dive into metabolic health and its impact on mental health, including anxiety, burnout, emotional exhaustion, mood, and chronic stress. Laura walks us through her practical 4-step TANDOM WALTZ approach to metabolic health and shares simple, sustainable steps listeners can begin applying right away to improve both physical and emotional well-being. 🌿 Topics we discuss include: • Metabolic health and mental health • Chronic stress and emotional exhaustion • Anxiety, burnout, and inflammation • Faith-based wellness and biblical health principles • Natural health and lifestyle healing • Nutrition, movement, and metabolic function • Simple practical habits that support long-term wellness • Healing the body and mind together Both episodes in this special 2-part series are available now.
